Matt is honored to serve as the director of Campus Compact for Southern New England (CCSNE). In this capacity he is responsible for the strategic vision for the regional compact, leading regional coalition building efforts, supporting the development of member engagement activities and services, and managing the organizational and administrative aspects of CCSNE. Additionally, he will actively link the regional efforts with national priorities and programs ensuring maximum opportunities for member campuses and impact.
The formation of CCSNE is a direct result of Matt’s experience serving as the Executive Director of Connecticut Campus Compact and interim director of Rhode Island Campus Compact. These roles positioned Matt to see the dynamic work of member campuses across Southern New England and the numerous community assets that could be better leveraged to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable society.
Prior to the Compact, Matt served in multiple roles in higher education with academic affairs, student affairs, and campus ministry focused on civic and community engagement. He has served as the Director of the Office of Community Outreach at the University of Connecticut, Associate Director for GEAR-UP at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education, and Assistant Director of the Center for Social Concern at Stonehill College. Matt has a BS in Business Administration from Stonehill College and a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Connecticut.
In recent years, Matt’s own community engagement has primarily focused on supporting his two daughter’s experiences through volunteering in parent-teacher associations, school policy advisory boards, youth sports (coaching basketball), and way too many parent booster clubs. Additionally, he serves as a Commissioner of the Connecticut Commission on Community Service and a member of the Connecticut Civic Health Advisory Committee organized by the Office of the Secretary of the State of Connecticut and Everyday Democracy. When Matt is not driving his car around Southern New England, he enjoys the occasional game of golf, cheering from the sidelines of his kids’ sports events, and binge watching Game of Thrones.
